Table tennis was definitely our pick for the most fun and satisfying game of the demo. MotionPlus allowed for a very natural top spin and slicing effect, which also made for an intensely competitive match. CNET editor Scott Stein and I instantly started a game of Table Tennis and we were equally blown away at how responsive the controls were. Resort features a similar presentation to the original and revisits some of the same sports as well. That said, the game will ship with one MotionPlus unit. The game only works with Wii MotionPlus, so you'll need to get extras if you plan on playing with friends (and you're going to want to). While you've probably heard a lot about this game, did you know it's including updates of classics like bowling and golf? While we didn't spend time with those, we took on whole new challenges that provoked a bit of smack-talking between Jeff and Scott.Īfter our time with Wii Sports Resort two nights ago, it's safe to say that the sequel to the most popular Wii game is going to be a smash hit.
"Super Mario Smash Bros."), and now we'll let you in on our three-game session with Nintendo's ace-in-the-hole, Wii Sports Resort. And to our surprise (and clearly, Nintendo's delight), they've gone a little hardcore competitive on us all of a sudden.
As we mentioned previously, this week we got all close-up and hands-on with Nintendo's E3 lineup for the holidays, courtesy of a meeting in a NY hotel room deep in midtown Manhattan.
